What you'll do
- Lead, coach and develop the PE and FA teams; define roles, competency requirements, training plans, succession coverage and ways of working to build a high-performing, results-oriented organization.
- Set departmental objectives and KPIs in alignment with manufacturing priorities; establish annual plans, allocate resources, review performance regularly and implement corrective actions when targets are at risk.
- Provide technical leadership for production-line issues, process excursions and complex defects. Ensure rapid containment, risk assessment, root-cause identification, corrective and preventive actions, and effectiveness verification.
- Own the failure analysis function and laboratory capability. Establish FA workflows, methods, equipment, sample handling, documentation and technical review mechanisms to deliver timely, accurate and traceable analysis results.
- Lead cross-functional failure investigations for internal defects, reliability failures, supplier-related issues and customer complaints. Translate FA findings into actionable process, product, material or equipment improvements and communicate conclusions clearly to stakeholders.
- Lead PE and FA engineering activities for NPI line bring-up from engineering build through ramp-up and mass-production readiness, including process flow, equipment and tooling readiness, layout, utilities, staffing and training, material readiness, documentation and production trials.
- Define and manage NPI engineering deliverables and readiness criteria. Drive process validation and qualification, parameter-window definition, control-plan implementation, capability assessment, line audits, issue closure, handover and post-launch stabilization.
- Partner with R&D, TIE, Quality, Production, Engineering, Supply Chain and global technical teams to ensure robust transfer of new products, technologies, materials and equipment, with clear ownership, risk management and milestone tracking.
- Drive continuous improvement in safety, quality, delivery, cost and productivity, including FPY/yield, scrap, cycle time, OTD and process capability, using Lean, Six Sigma, DOE, SPC and other structured problem-solving methods.
- Develop and maintain process standards, work instructions, technical specifications, control plans, risk assessments and knowledge-management practices. Ensure changes are evaluated, approved, implemented and sustained through effective change control.
- Prepare and manage the departmental budget, laboratory and engineering investment plan, and OPEX/CAPEX execution. Support supplier selection, technical evaluation, acceptance and lifecycle management of critical equipment and analytical tools.
- Ensure compliance with EHS, information security, applicable quality-system requirements and company policies. Protect technical information assets and ensure special processes, equipment software and engineering controls are appropriately validated and risk managed.
What they're looking for
- University graduate or above.
- Science and Engineering
- Minimum 5 years of relevant experience in process engineering, manufacturing engineering, quality engineering, failure analysis or a related technical field; experience in the ophthalmic lens, optics, medical-device or other high-volume manufacturing industry is preferred. Hands-on experience in NPI industrialization, production-line bring-up and complex failure investigation is required.
- Strong knowledge of manufacturing process development, process validation, DOE, SPC, MSA, PFMEA, control plans, Lean Six Sigma and structured problem solving such as 8D, DMAIC and 5-Why.
- Strong leadership, coaching and team-development capability. Excellent cross-functional collaboration, influence and conflict-resolution skills. Structured, data-driven and hands-on approach to complex problem solving and decision making. Result-oriented, accountable, resilient and willing to challenge the status quo while maintaining high standards of integrity and safety.
- Able to support critical production or NPI activities outside normal working hours when necessary and to travel for supplier, customer or global-team collaboration as required.
